I use Jeff Goldblum's Jurassic Park character to illustrate what I see as the real dangers in our strategy to try to control the pandemic, in our 'Covid-safe economy'. It's gobsmacking vanity. Have a look at the basic science and maths of testing in this article. Testing is supposed to be our way of controlling the virus from this point on, while our economy (which doesn't exist) carries on. 'Life will find a way', as Jeff says. We're still thinking of this as just a temporary interruption to normal life. Tick tick. https://theconversation.com/coronavirus-surprisingly-big-problems-caused-by-small-errors-in-testing-136700?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR3W_z9lI9NuO61DzdwKmYFhCRdkf0GRJXVtqOksbl6h-tYZiGvxy73EceE#Echobox=1588678777
